Original Post 10/17: The first page of Macy’s Black Friday 2012 advertisement is out. The rest of the ad will hopefully be coming soon, but for now, let’s take a look at the current Macy’s leak. Macy’s is offering $10 off any $25+ purchase of sale and clearance apparel and select home items. This coupon is good on Black Friday from midnight to 1pm and on Saturday from 7am – 1pm. Like many Macy’s coupons, the exclusions are pretty substantial. Don’t expect to get your $10 off on purchases of:

Super buys

Everyday value specials (EDV)

Furniture

Mattresses

Floor coverings

Rugs

Electrics/electronics

Cosmetics/fragrances

Gift cards

Jewelry trunk shows

Previous purchases

Special orders

Selected licensed departments

Special purchases

Services

Macys.com

Despite the exclusions, $10 off a $25 purchase comes out to a very nice 40% discount. If you’re considering shopping at Macy’s on Black Friday weekend, make sure to shop in the morning and bring your $10 coupon.

In anticipation of the rest of the Macy’s 2012 Black Friday ad, we’re going to do a quick review of Macy’s ad from last year. The first thing that jumps out about the Macy’s 2011 Black Friday ad is that the first page of the 2011 ad is the exact same as the first page of the 2012 ad. It’s got the same $10 off purchase of $25 or more coupon.

The Macy’s ad from 2011 was gigantic with 88 ad scan pages, but here are some of the standout deals from 2011:

Macy’s 2011 Black Friday Category

Deal

Baby

Play-wear for babies from Carters is buy 1 get 1 free.

Dinnerware

30%-50% off colors and patterns from Martha Stewart, Fiesta, The Ceilar and Espana.

Fragrance

Free Sylvania Digital Video camera with purchase of $65+ fragrance.

Furniture

All types on sale and free delivery with purchase of $999+.

Jackets

Puffer Jackets for Boys, Girls and Juniors for $16.99, down 66% from $49.50.

Select kitchen electrics such as Rocket Blender, panini press, Black & Decker rice cooker and more for $9.99 after rebate.

So what do these deals tell us about this year? First of all, Macy’s will likely put out reliable discounts on almost every category in the store. Second, Macy’s will probably discount name brand items as well. Last year saw the retailer offering savings on Martha Stewart, Nautica, Carters, Barbie, Mattel, Calvin Klein and more.

We can probably expect to see a very similar sale from Macy’s this year – lots of discounted items, some excellent doorbusters and plenty to get excited about. 2011 was the first year Macy’s opened its doors at midnight on Black Friday, and Macy’s will do so again this year, indicating Macy’s felt last year’s Black Friday was a success.

Go with a plan to Macy’s, however – with so many solid items on sale, you might find yourself buying pieces you don’t need just because of the appealing price. Macy’s will surely have great deals in mid-December as the retail holiday season enters its final stages, so you’ll have a chance to score savings again if you’re patient.
